Burning yourself?

[Xblackwidow20X]

i see there is a cutting thread. but has anyone ever burned them selves on purpose? i use to do it. but then i moved onto cutting. was just wondering if anyone else did it.

 


i use to do it with matches and lighters and stuff.

 


and why do you think people feel the need to do these things?

I thought that cutting did´nt help so yeah I thought of it but I didnt think that any1 else would..

but no I´ve not burned myself.

How the **** can you burn ur self?! Wouldn't that hurt like, 10 times more then like, cutting? I mean....that'd way hurt! Anyways, I'ver never tried, but I like to watch fire. (Watching can actually calm you nerves.)

Burning yourself ?? Ouch! Jeez that would hurt!

 

[4everLP_Shinoda]

I have never cut myself and never in my freaking like I would burn myself!!!!Burning myself would be worst than cutting!!

I put a ciggeret out on my hand...heheheh

burning??ouch!! no, dont think id ever do that..wouldnt it give nasty scars too? I mean if u see ppl who got burned skin, it doesnt look very good.

 

[uwantme2b]

I've never burned.

I don't think it would hurt much... serious self harmers often, I find, don't really feel the pain while they're doing it, only after. Burns are also nastier than cuts because they're more likely to be infected.

iv heard of it. iv done it.... along with cutting and trying to starve to death... basically everything (never works)

i light matches and lighters to burn myself.. it doens't hurt me much... i love fire... its just so relaxing.... i have never had any marks or scars.. i can actually literally play with fire without it hurting... its wierd.. i mean sometimes it hurts like a b*tch.. and i do agree cutting doesn't hurt as much as burning does... but i don't feel it most of the time..

 

[twilightcrimson7]

No.. I haven't done it, but I've thought about it...

I have burned by self, but not on purpose. I just like playing with matches, and somehow i find burning myslef is really leaving no harm.

 

[stupidsoul1]

i think people do it as an "Escape" like they need to feel the pain (emo) go away by making some sort of pain (physical) and then they feel better and its kind of like an addiction....

its not healthy whether you cut or burn because you can die from it....it may seem better then drugs and whatever but they are all the same.

wow. i never thought of that. why do people do that? is it like a contest? "let's see how many different ways we can hurt ourselves"..

 

[linkinpark-1]

I haven't heard of it either, but I can't say I'm not suprised. Some people will do anything to get the feeling back. :/

hmm fire is cool and i like playing with it but not really burning my self on purpose. never really heard of that self mutiliation technique. if you want to burn yourself use salt and ice and keep it on your skin for like 10+ minutes. i dont do it but my friend did and she has this huge scar on her arm. it scorched her. of course shes an attention ***** and felt that it would be cool to show it to the world by drawing a box around it and telling her tale.

 

[misery]

I find anything like this stupid and pointless.

I honestly don't see how hurting yourself gets rid of emotional pain.. then again, I've never been in a situation like that in the first place.

But that's just me. Sorry if I've offended anyone :/

 

[KillMeImIrish]

^ i agree. i used to cut, but that was only because i wanted to see what it was like.. and to fit in with my "gothicish" friends.. it was really stupid and i regret it. because now everytime i have to get shots, i have to tell them to take it on my right arm.. it really doesnt solve anything, it just creates a bigger problem.
